The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Emma Dawson crossed the line in 1:19:02: 130th of 825 women, faster than 84% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 4:21 quicker than the median and 7th of 825. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:09 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
